Let's not introduce victim mentality here.
- gym memberships start from $10/month (optional, there are plenty of body-weight exercises you can do outside of gym).
- running costs nothing (in recurring fees).
- all you need is 1 hr/day, 3-4 times a week.
It is all really about knowledge and motivation.
I am not saying it is easy, but it has nothing to do with money.

- massysett 11y ago1 hr/day, 3-4 times a week can be an enormous amount of time, especially when you are juggling children, work, and commuting. Higher income people can manage this more easily--often their work hours are more flexible, and the very high income can staff out their child care. And lower income people are more likely to have jobs that require physical activity to begin with. Exercising is a lot harder if you've already been on your feet all day. So it is not all about knowledge and motivation and while it may have little to do with money, it has a lot to do with available time.
- jazzyk 11y agoIt really varies. Most people I know in blue collar jobs work 40 hours/week and are free to do what they want after 5pm. They don't take their work home. It is usually the "exempt" professionals - lawyers, doctors, McKinsey consultants who work overtime (because they have to or they think they have to).
